After getting into online spats with King Von’s sister Kayla B and being called out by Foolio, Asian Doll is taking the high road. She’s carried the “Queen Von” banner since the Chicago rapper was murdered last November. Doll has received a tattoo of a portrait of Von and purchased a life-like iced-out chain, but as she was grieving his loss publicly, there were others who criticized her, accusing the rapper of overdoing it.

Yesterday (June 16), we reported on Foolio saying that if anything happens to him, “don’t be an Asian Doll.” She responded with a scathing tweet. “But when some do happen to you watch nobody give no f*ck [crying laughing emojis],” she wrote. “Get off n*gga d*ck tho fan ass n*gga.”

Asian Doll also addressed her recent controversies, including the public learning that a woman is allegedly pregnant with Von’s child. “As long as von in the situation ima always be respectful cause I’m not finna be out here looking slow gang,” she tweeted. “He can’t speak for himself & I ain’t finna speak for him. Be safe out here y’all.”

“I’m not arguing with nobody tho fasho my whole like will do the talking,” Doll added. Check out the posts below.

On Instagram, Beezy shared a video where he expressed that he’s tired of women sending him court papers with claims that he’s the father of their children.

“Something with somebody I don’t know,” he continued. “Aye, man, y’all gotta stop that. Get a new hustle, man, for real. ‘Cause that’s just crazy, bro. For one, y’all hyping these kids up. Then, when they find out that I’m not the daddy, you gotta lie to ’em again on why you thought it was. Man, you know I ain’t neva met y’all.”

“The ladies from last time, couple months ago, I ain’t never met,” said Beezy. “You say I met you in college. I ain’t even go to college! I went to community college and it was across the street from a school I graduated from so that don’t even count. That was like a 13th grade. Just leave me out of that, for real.”

The rapper said he’s “tired of taking DNA tests” when these women know that their children don’t belong to him. “Get another hustle!” Watch Yella Beezy’s air out his frustrations below and swipe to read a few additional thoughts he shared on his Instagram Story.

Just a few weeks ago, superstar tennis player Naomi Osaka made headlines as she claimed that she would not be doing press during her time at the French Open. This decision was met with a lot of vitriol and eventually, she was fined by the tournament. Following this fine, Osaka withdrew from the competition completely, and issued a statement in which she got very real and personal about her issues with mental health and how it has affected her relationship with the media.

Numerous tennis players showed solidarity with Osaka and while her presence was missed, there is no denying that she had an impact on the tournament as a whole. Now, it is being reported by TMZ that she will also miss Wimbledon and that she intends on using the time off to spend some time with her friends and family while also getting her mental health right.

The tennis champion did note, however, that she will be back in time for the Olympics and that she is excited to represent her country. Osaka is one of the biggest tennis stars in the world right now, and the sport is a lot better when she’s playing. However, it’s great to see her taking control of her mental health, and seeking help as opposed to letting things bottle up.

Stay tuned for more updates from the sports world as we will always keep you informed.

If you have been a sneakerhead for a while now, then you were probably outside for “The Ten” collection which was Virgil Abloh’s first collection with Nike. While many of the silhouettes were beloved by many, the shoe that everyone wanted was the “Chicago” Air Jordan 1 with Off-White aesthetics. This sneaker was an instant classic and it continued to inspire new Off-White Air Jordan collaborations. The latest Off-White x Jordan shoe to drop was the creamy beige Air Jordan 4 from last year, and now, it seems like a brand new Off-White x Jumpman shoe is on the horizon.

According to the Instagram sneaker insider @zsneakerheadz, the Air Jordan 2 Low will officially be receiving some of Virgil’s signature aesthetics. In the mockup found below, the shoe is covered in white materials while we get some red near the back. There are some 3M elements to be had here and when it comes to the Off-White aesthetic, we get “AIR” written on the heel all while the shoe will come with a black hangtag.

As it stands, there is no release timeline for this shoe although it is expected to be coming out sometime in the future. Let us know what you think of the new model, in the comments below.

Months after news of Kanye West and Kim Kardashian’s separation and divorce shocked the entire entertainment industry, it looks like both of the sensational celebrities are finally moving on. Following rumors that he’s romantically attached to Irina Shayk, Kanye has reportedly returned to Hawaii to work on a new album. Other reports have revealed that Kim is “doing great” as well, so it only makes sense that celebrities and wealthy suitors would now turn their attention to Kim.

Early Thursday morning, Kim flooded her social media channels with a steamy set of photos that showed her posing on a tennis court while wearing nothing but a nude, flesh-tone bralette and underwear combo. The revealing photos have naturally prompted several reactions from fans and celebrities alike, but it looks like Soulja Boy has fallen hard for Kim’s thirst trap.

Responding to Kim’s flirtatious “Tennis anyone?!” caption, Soulja Boy quoted Kim’s sultry tennis pictures on Twitter with the simple, yet savage response, “I wanna play.” 

Already prepared for whatever backlash was coming his way, Soulja Boy immediately fired off a follow-up tweet that definitely illustrating his disregard for Kim and Kanye’s troubled relationship status. “It’s Big Draco I do what I want,” the “She Make It Clap”rapper stated, doubling down on his desire for the newly single Kardashian sister.  

Clearly, Big Draco‘s gotta do what he’s gotta do to get in good with Kim K. Stay tuned to see if Soulja Boy’s online romantic pursuit of Kim Kardashian is ultimately successful, and in the meantime, check out his Lil B-esque 2012 song titled “Kim Kardashian” here.

Zion Williamson has been box office during his time in New Orleans although when it comes to the results out on the court, they have been lackluster, to say the least. This isn’t necessarily his fault as he has been putting in work on the offensive end of the court. Instead, it’s been the team’s lack of depth and coaching that has led to their problems. For instance, Stan Van Gundy was fired after just one season, and now, it’s obvious as to why the firing happened.

According to a new report from The Athletic, it was revealed that Zion’s family is upset with the Pelicans staff and that they were particularly disappointed with Van Gundy, who was reportedly too strict on the players. In fact, if things don’t quickly improve, his family would prefer that he leaves New Orleans for good.

“The Pels made changes to their support staff to fit Williamson’s wishes over the offseason, and he returned in much better physical condition. But for most of this season, certain Williamson family members voiced displeasure with the organization,” the Athletic explained. “Among the targets of their criticism was Van Gundy, who they felt was too rigid and demanding as head coach, but also with the Pelicans, which they claim did not live up to what they felt should be the standard for a star like Williamson. Numerous opposing league executives had heard the complaints, and they were confirmed by Pelicans officials.”

Considering Zion is entering his third year in the league, this is a very strange position to be in, and it will be interesting to see how it all gets handled. With this story in mind, the Pelicans have a lot of pressure to perform, and it could get ugly if the results don’t show up right away.
